Abstract


Bus drivers are among the professions with a high risk of health disorders. One of the common health disorders experienced is Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), which encompass a wide range of complaints, from mild to severe, in skeletal muscles. MSDs can occur due to various factors, including working posture. Body Mass Index (BMI) also serves as an individual determinant of working posture. This research aims to determine whether there is a relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and Body Mass Index. It employs an observational method with a cross-sectional approach. The objective of this research is to explore the relationship between the independent variable, which is BMI, and the dependent variable, which is musculoskeletal disorders. The research sample consists of 35 drivers from three corridors of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Trans Semarang. The research findings reveal that there is no significant relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and BMI, with an r-value of 0.16 and a p-value of 0.339. In conclusion, musculoskeletal disorders among bus drivers are categorized as low
